GTZ
GTZ is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, promotes
complex reforms and change processes. GTZ in collaboration with Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and
German Ministry of Environment is implementing a project on rural electrification based on biomass conversiontechnologies and other renewable energy sources. It wants to develop and test a model for rural energy services
owned, operated and maintained by the village communities. It has planned to set up two renewable energy projects,one at Korba, Chhattisgarh and second at Pune, Maharashtra. A study has been designed to assess the availability of
feedstock with the community and explore alternate sources in the neighboring trading centers.
MART
MART is a leading, emerging market consultancy, working in India and neighboring countries to enable the poor toimprove their quality of life by delivering innovative, high value, end-to-end solutions through clients. Its services
include research, strategy and implementation. MART works with government, development sector organizations,
multinational corporations and corporate foundations. It is known for its pioneering work in the areas of livelihoods andrural marketing. It has undertaken several studies on forest produce and agri-produce value chain for development and
corporate sector.
Korba, Chhattisgarh
The renewable energy project for rural electrification has been conceived in Korba (Chhattisgarh), which will produceelectricity from non-edible oil-seeds produced in forests. The community from 24 project villages will collect the non-
edible oilseeds and an annual requirement is 800 ton.
Kolwan, Pune, Maharashtra
The renewable energy project has been conceived in Kolwan valley in Pune (Maharashtra) which will produce electricity
from agri-waste produced in the area. The project covers 6 villages and 975 households.

Preface
The overall goal of GTZs proposed renewable energy projects is to find sustainable rural energy supply solutions which
clearly go beyond conventional electrification by addressing the total energy requirements for cooking, electricity and
motive power through various forms of biomass material based on available biomass conversions technologies andother renewable energy technologies.
The project has two sites:
Site 1: A cluster of 24 villages in district Korba, Chhattisgarh State (25 kms from Korba town)
Site 2: A cluster of 6 villages in Kolwan valley in district Pune, Maharashtra State (40 kms from Pune)
The main feedstock for electricity generation in 24 villages in district Korba is non-edible vegetable oil to be obtainedfrom Jatropha, Kusum and other non-edible oilseeds. The electricity generation in Kolwan is proposed from biogas
obtained through bio-methanation of Agri-wastes. GTZ commissioned a study to know the annual availability of theseoilseeds in the vicinity of the project site at Korba, and the availability for Agri-wastes in the Kolwan valley.
MART undertook the study in both the project sites by following an agreed methodology and prepared the study
report. The study report is divided into 2 sections namely Section 1 and Section 2. Section 1 deals with the findings andanalysis of Korba, Chhattisgarh while the Section 2 deals with the findings and analysis of Kolwan, Pune as per the table
of contents, placed at the starting of each section.

Executive Summary
Objectives of the study
The objectives of the study were to
assess the availability of non-edible oilseeds and future estimates in the 24 study villages
understand current marketing practices for Jatropha / Kusum & other non-edible oil seeds
understand market channels and market dynamics of oilseed procurement, selling and its usage
understand the cost implication in case of procurement from both project areas and other adjoining areas
explore market linkages to sell bio-manure available as waste of the oil extrusion and oil cake digestion process
formulate a mechanism for ensuring availability of the feedstock from the catchment area, at minimum cost,
without disturbing traditional business practices
Assessment Methodology
A multi pronged methodology was undertaken to assess availability of Tree Borne Oilseeds (TBOs) in the cluster of
24 villages, under the project, its adjoining areas and neighbouring markets.
o Community interactions using participatory rural appraisal and focus group discussion methods were
conducted in the 24 village clusters to understand the village level dynamics of TBOs including collection
practices, quantum of produce collected, seasonality of collection, usage and marketing practices.
o In-depth interviews were conducted with market players (traders, expelling units and oil mills etc.) located
at different locations to understand trading practices including the quantum of TBO traded in the markets,
dynamics of trading, prevailing prices and terms of trade. Interactions with traders were conducted in the
markets of Korba, Churi, Katghora, and Pendra Road etc.
o Physical enumeration to assess Jatropha plantation density, survival rate and status on production wasconducted. Ten random sample plots of 100 square meters each were used for assessment.
TBO availability in the cluster
Tree Borne Oilseeds (TBOs) were mostly available in the project areas in the form of
o Mahua (commonly known as dori),
o Kusum,
o Saal
o Jatropha.
Collection of TBOs from the forest is open to all.
The community is involved in collection of Mahua, Kusum, and Saal. Mahua and Kusum are sold and traded in theopen markets, while Saal seed is a nationalized produce and State Government through the Forest Corporation
retains the purchase and trading rights.
Mahua, Saal and Kusum trees are mostly found in forest land. But these trees are also grown on the plot boundaries
of agriculture field by individuals.
Among the various TBOs collected, Mahua emerged as the major oilseed followed by Saal and Kusum.
o The community (24 villages) estimated a total collection of about 141.9 ton of Mahua of which 95.7 tons are
sold in the market. The remaining 46.2 tons is consumed by the community. Villagers use a traditional oil
extraction method to obtain Mahua oil which is used both as edible oil and for external application. This
extraction method generates approximately 25-30% oil and 32.3 tonof oil cakes as by-products.

o Approximately 23.23 tons of Kusum seed is estimated as collected in the cluster of 24 villages of which only
2.25 tons are sold in the market. The remaining 20.98tons is processed for oil and used by community. The
oil is believed to have medicinal properties and also used for lighting lamps during festivals. The traditional
oil extraction method yields about 25-30% oil. Around 14.7 ton of Kusum oil cake is available as a by-
product in the cluster.
o The community assessed a collection of 64.47 tons of Saal seeds which is sold to the forest department at a
fixed government rate.
During the cluster level discussions, community felt that collection of Kusum has reduced in the past decade due to
promotion of Lac cultivation by the district administration. (Kusum is the host tree for Lac cultivation and the
process does not allow flowering, thus, no seeds are produced). There is an increase in adoption of Lac cultivation
by Kusum tree owners as it promises relatively higher earnings than oilseeds.
Oil cakes from Mahua and Kusum are not consumed by animals and are, mostly dumped in the dry compost heaps
of cow-dung. However, sometimes they are able to sell the oilcakes in the nearest haat for Rs.1-2 per kg. Some
members of village community reported bartering oilcake for salt in the local haat (periodic markets). Some feel
that they are unable to sell the oilcakes due to lack of knowledge of its usage.
Traditionally the community used Mahua oil for consumption but this is changing as more and more households are
consuming factory processed refined vegetable oil. It was estimated that a family of 5 members consumes about
30 litres of oil per annum. The refined vegetable oil is priced at Rs45/litre for unpacked oil and Rs55/litre for
packaged oil.
Jatropha is yet to be collected and, therefore, there is no data
available. The State Forest Department is the nodal agency for
Jatropha plantation. The records on the size of plantation with DFO,
Korba, is shown in the adjoining table
Jatropha oilseed collection in the study villages is non-existent and
therefore no collection was reported. However, collection is reportedfrom neighbouring areas of Marwahi, Pendra, Pendra Road and adjoining areas (located around 150 km from
Korba).
MART assessed that 9.59 ton of Jatropha oilseeds would be the potential production in the study villages after 3
years of growth of plantation and 41.8 tons after 5 years of growth of plantation, based on the communitys recall
of Jatropha plantation in the study villages.
TBO availability in the neighboring markets
Availability of TBOs outside the 24 project villages was estimated based on discussions with traders and expelling
units located in these markets. Villagers living in village clusters outside the project area sell their oilseed produce in
the markets of Churi, Korba, and Katghora.
MARTs assessment of oilseed transaction in different markets is as follows:
Oilseed Transaction in tonsMarket Location
Mahua Kusum Karanj
Korba 1125 30 30
Churi 625 45 45
Katghora 1575 23 60
Pendra Road 1350 38 Not Available
Prices of Mahua, Kusum and Karanj vary as the produce gets aggregated at larger trading centers.

2005-06 2,17,000
2006-07 14,00,015
2007-08 44,22,300
2008-09 No Plantation

Procurement Dynamics
Procurement of TBOs can be done through following sources; individual collectors, the self help groups (SHGs)
within the project area, and traders in the market. Procurement from individuals and SHGs will necessarily require
dealing with large number of people for small quantities. It was assessed that a household collects about 0.127 ton
of oilseeds per year.
The Village Energy Committee (VEC) in its existing structure will necessarily need the support of village level
aggregators to procure TBO. SHGs in the project area and neighboring villages can be mobilized for collection of

TBOs on commercial terms. Commercial procurement from community would be necessary for long term
sustainability.
It is evident that the total quantum of TBOs available within the clusters is not sufficient to meet the required
quantity of 800 tons per annum for the project (for oilseeds quantity requirement, refer to brief from GTZ). This
shortfall can be met by purchasing TBOs from traders located in the nearby towns, Korba (30 kms), Churi (35 kms),Katghora (45 kms). Initially the project may have to depend largely on Mahua as a fuel source.
The present demand for TBOs is seasonal at the village and first aggregation points, and most traders do not hold
the stocks for more than 2-3 months. The non-availability of oilseeds in the off-season leads to an increase in prices.
To get the best price, it may therefore be advantageous to procure TBOs within a span of 1-2 months of the harvest
period. Moreover, procured oilseeds should be converted into oil as soon as possible since oil content reduces over
the period of storage.
The GTZ project plans to set up six oil expelling units in the project area. MART suggests that a commercial
orientation to the units could improve the availability of oilseeds from communities living outside the project area
(neighboring villages). The expelling unit can have access to oilseeds from a number of catchment villages in theneighborhood.
Jatropha Plantation and Potential Source for Oilseeds
The MART team assessed that the Jatropha plantation is unlikely to yield significant quantities even in the next 3 to
4 years because of poor plant care. It would be worth considering a pro-active approach by GTZ to engage with the
forest department and community with
a. entry point activities (EPA) to develop proper management processes for Jatropha such as earth work,
weeding, pruning and fertilizer application, etc.
b. Awareness creation among the community on best practices to maximize yield and build community
ownership to ensure long term sustainability. The communitys engagement in plantation management will
help them in the procurement process.
Villagers can also be mobilized to undertake Jatropha planting through a contract farming approach. As the
existing plants yield expected to grow after 3-5 years, this may be taken up experimentally by GTZ, initially, as has
been promoted by Reliance in Pendra Road. To ensure that productive land for food crops are not converted to
Jatropha production, the community may need to be educated on the use of fallow land or plot boundaries for
Jatropha planting.
There exists a community of petty traders who aggregate TBOs at village level and sell in town markets. These
traders could be motivated to participate in the project as Village Marketing Associates in the business model.
The aggregation of TBOs at the nearby town markets is of significant quantities and commodity traders do stock up
during harvest season. These stocks are held back in godowns for a few months to fetch better price.
Impact on TBO business
The requirement of 800 tons of TBO for electricity generation, will affect the traditional business channels as a
significant part of aggregated TBOs are consumed locally. However, the present adverse sentiments regarding
8/3/2019 grp 7 Korba

price rises due to bulk procurement does not consider the production of Jatropha and its availability in subsequent
years.
The project can also procure oilcakes from the large scale expeller units located in Korba and Katghora. Some of the
units reported surplus Mahua oil which can be procured by the project. Oil expellers located in Katghora claim to
have surplus Mahua oil and need parties to buy it. They are also open to renting out the premises and expelling ofany amount of Mahua oilseed required.
Bio Manure
Bio Manure, though promoted by government and development agencies, has still not been accepted as effective
crop fertilizer. Presently, it is only the government and institutions which are the potential customers. The Project
can explore marketing possibilities with the Agriculture, Forest Department and NGOs promoting sustainable
agriculture programs.
Agri input suppliers feel that farmers have to be educated about the benefits of Bio Manure before they will use it.
One major distributor located in Bilaspur remarked; bik to jayega par field mein kaam karna padega (It can be sold,
but only with a lot of effort). A local retailer based at Korba remarked that farmer would be willing to pay not more
than Rs. 1000-1200 per acre on fertilizer application.
Major Players in Jatropha
Discussions with resource persons revealed that Companies like Reliance and D1-BP, IKF have acquired employed 2
distinct strategies to ensure procurement. Firstly they have acquired large tracts of land and promoted Jatropha
plantation, secondly they have mobilized farmers to undertake Jatropha cultivation on their own lands. They have
supplied quality materials to the farmers and have ensured buy back.

1. Introduction
GTZ is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, promotes
complex reforms and change processes. GTZ in collaboration with Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and
German Ministry of Environment is implementing a project on rural electrification based on biomass conversion
technologies and other renewable energy sources. It wants to develop and test a model for rural energy services
owned, operated and maintained by village communities. One project location has been identified in Korba
(Chhattisgarh) close to select 24 villages to produce electricity from non-edible vegetable oil-seeds.
The main feedstock for electricity generation in 24 villages in district Korba is non-edible vegetable oil. The annual
requirement of project is approximately 800 tons of oilseeds.
GTZ would like to gain an understanding of:
The assured annual availability of Tree Borne Oilseeds in the vicinity of the identified villages.
Procurement details, in terms of, how and from where and at what cost the remaining quantities can be
procured from neighbouring areas in case of inadequate supply from among the 24 villages.
The market linkages for the sale of bio-manure (waste product) from the project.
The study is designed to assess the availability of Tree Borne oilseeds with the community and explore alternate
procurement sources in the neighboring areas.
2. Object ives of the Study
To assess the non-edible oilseed trees & plantation and current production level, future estimates and also to
explore potential availability of Jatropha and other TBOs in the clusters
To understand current marketing practices for Jatropha / Kusum & other non-edible oil seeds
To understand market channels and market dynamics of seed procurement, selling and its usage To understand the cost implication in case of procurement from both project areas and other adjoining areas
To explore market linkages to sell bio-manure available as waste of the oil extrusion and oil cake digestion
process

3. Methodology
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) followed with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted to assess TBOs
availability at the cluster level.
PRA was conducted with collectors and petty traders of TBOs, village elders, representing each project village.
Indicative geographical mapping was done to assess the status of TBOs, community ownership of TBOs, and market
reach for the village locations and clusters during the PRA.
Focus Group Discussion was done with TBO collectors to understand number of households collecting TBOs, quantity
collected and sold per household, seasonality of collection, and marketing practices of TBO. Villagers had a good
understanding of their own and other project villages in each cluster. The discussion focused on plantations, seed
collection, self usage and marketed surplus and observations made were validated by participants.
Interactions with representative of the Gram Panchayat, Beat Officers were conducted to understand status of TBO
plantation, community ownership and collection potential. Interaction with farmers was done to understand the use of
bio manure in their agriculture practices.
Physical Enumeration for Jatropha was conducted as it is expected to fulfill the TBO need for electricity generation
under the project. Based on community recall of existing plantation and DFO records, MART team carried out physical
assessment in 10 sample plots of100 sq.m. each and assessed the expected TBO quantity which would be available in
near future.
Interactions with traders and expelling units located in the nearby markets were conducted to assess the transaction of
TBO in each of the markets.

4. Context of Korba
Korba district is the power hub for Chhattisgarh and is, thus, known as the power capital of the state. The district falls
under Bilaspur division and is inhabited mainly by tribal communities including the protected tribe, Korwas (PahadiKorwa). The district headquarters is Korba city, which is situated on the banks of the confluence of rivers Hasdeo and
Ahiran. Korba is situated in the northern half of the Chhattisgarh state and surrounded by the districts of Korea,
Surguja, Bilaspur, and Janjgir. Korba is the land of black diamond (coal), kosa silk and thermal power. The headquarters
of Korba district is situated about 200 KM. from the capital city Raipur. The District's total area is 714,544 hectares, of
which 283,497 hectares is forest land.
Korba is often referred to as the Industrial Hub of Chhattisgarh. The district is enriched with the essential raw materials
required for power generation, namely coal and water. The four Thermal Power Plants (KSTPS, BCPP, CSEB East, and
CSEB West) together generate 3650 MWs of electricity. Besides these, there is a Hydro Electric Power Station situated
at Bango. SECL, a profit making Coal Company under the Coal India Limited has many of its main mines in Korba
district. Aluminum major BALCO (Bharat Aluminum Company) is also based in the district.
The people of Korba come from different religious, social and cultural backgrounds. The main inhabitants are tribals
who constitute the majority (51.67%) of the total population. The main Scheduled Tribes in Korba district are Pahadi
Korwa, Gond, Raj Gond, Kawar, Bhaiyana, Binjwar, and Dhanuhar. Some of the major Scheduled Castes are Satnami,
Ganda, and Panka.

5. Profile of Study Villages
Tribals are the major inhabitants of these 24 villages. While Manjhwar, Gond, Kanwar, Rathia, Oraon and Tanwar are
some of the major tribes present in the villages, the Primitive Tribes of Korba and Birhor are also present in these
villages. While the Kanwar community is politically strong with a say in the development of the region, the Tanwar,
Rathia and Oraon are the most progressive tribes.
Jijeevisha Samitee is a NGO working in these villages for implementing livelihoods pro-grams. It has promoted SHGs
(male) in these 24 villages while implementing Promotion of Lac Cultivation program under the BRGF scheme. GTZ
has partnered with this NGO to implement its community governed renewable energy project.

o People are generally aware that seeds of Jatropha can be processed to produce bio fuel which in turn will
generate electricity
5.4 Seasonality of Collection of TBOs at the village level
The above table shows the collection and trading seasonality of TBOs.
Collection of Mahua, Saal and Kusum is restricted to a maximum of two months only. As villagers have no storage
facilities and urgently require money, they are also sold in local markets within 15-20 days of collection. Thus, the
trading season for villagers is also approximately 2 months only. All further trading is dependent on the availability of
stocks with the trader.

Mahua oilseed is found in plenty in 5 clusters of Tileidand, Garhuproda, Satrenga, Ajgarbahar, Pondikoha, but Chuhiya
cluster reported of less collection (drastically reduced production because of pollution). Marketable surplus of Kusum
oilseed was found to be existing in only Satrenga cluster with all the other clusters reporting collection for own usage.
Saal oilseed was found to be collected and sold in all the 6 clusters.
Total quantum of TBOs collected and available in the study clusters for the project
The combined collection and availability of TBOs (Mahua, Kusum and Saal) in each of the 6 project clusters is shown in
the chart below.
A total of 162.5 tons of TBOs is available in the 6 clusters. Hence, a shortfall of 637.5 tons is to be procured from

6.5 Assessment of Jatropha Oilseed
6.5.1 Assessment Methodology
The communities from the 24 study villages has never collected and sold Jatropha. In order to estimate future
availability of Jatropha production two distinct set of data one from communitys recall of existing Jatropha plantation
and second from the data of the number of plants distributed by Forest Department was collected. Physical
enumeration was conducted to record the growth and the yield potential. The following section deals with the
methodology employed for undertaking the Physical Enumeration.
6.5.2 Methodology for physical enumeration
For physical enumeration, the following methods were adopted:
The plot method was adopted in patch plantation, where a plot of a
specific size (10 m x 10m) was marked in the selected areas with thehelp of rope tied to four pegs, laid at the four corners of the plot.
For road side plantation, sample stretches of 100 m were selected
and plants of both sides of road were studied.
A Transact Walk through the area was undertaken for plot selection.
Sample plots were selected on the basis of topography. Care was
taken to select plots from different habitat types (such as grassland, scrub forest, and area near to water sources)
on a random basis.
Locations near or along the border of human settlements were
generally avoided for productivity estimation of vegetation, to counter
the effects of human and livestock interference.
When the variation in vegetation is high in patch plots, 2 plots were
taken as sample. In the case of uniform vegetation, 1 plot was taken
for study. In a sample plot 20% of the total plant population was
studied on a variety of parameters.
The parameters used were, spacing (plant to plant and row to row)
height of plant, no. of branches and sub branches, canopy size and
girth at base.
Four pegs, rope, measuring tape, and writing materials were the
materials used.
A total of 10 samples (7 plots from patch plantation and 3 roadside)
were analyzed (please see Annex for details) to determine the status of
the plantations against set parameters.

6.5.5 Ideal Plantation and Productivity
Discussion with experts in Chhattisgarh and with National experience described the ideal growth scenario for Jatropha
plantations on certain parameters. The following table details their assessment of the ideal growth after 3 years and 5
years of plantation.
Ideal Situation (After 3 years) Ideal Situation (After 5 years)
A minimum of 2-3 pruning Additional 2-3 pruning
25-30 branches per tree 100-120 branches per tree
4-5 fruit per branch 5-6 fruit per branch
Plant height maintained at 2 m Plant height maintained at 2 m
3 seeds per fruit 3 seeds per fruit
1000-1200 seeds will be around 1kg weight 1000-1200 seeds will be around 1kg weight
Around 300-450 seeds weighing 300 450 gms willbe produced
Around 1500-2160 seeds weighing 1500 2160 gmswill be produced
6.5.6 Yield Potential of the Plantation
The Physical enumeration of the existing plantations highlights that the existing number of branches is almost 1/3 rd of
the ideal situation. Hence, yield per tree based on this finding would be as follows.
Estimated yield per treeTime
Patch Road Side
After 3 years from thetime of plantation
Yield should be (7.26x5x3) =109 seeds or around 109 gms
Yield should be (7.65x5x3) = 114.75 seeds or around 115gms
After 5 years from thetime of plantation
Yield should be (25x6x3) = 450seeds or around 450 gms
Yield should be (30x6x3) = 540 seeds or around 540 gms
Patch Plantation Yield: It is expected that while a yield of 109 gm per tree would be available after 3 years of growth
in the patch plantation, a yield of 450 gm per tree would be available after 5 years.
Road Side Plantation Yield: Similarly it is expected that a yield of 115 gm per tree would be available after 3 years of
growth in the road side plantation and 540 gm per tree would be available after 5 years.
However, lack of best cultivation practices can further impact yield.
6.5.6. Key Observations Plantations have been marked and are supervised by the Beat Officers. There is a lack of community ownership.
The health parameters indicate low growth of plantation. Roadside plantations have a relatively lower survival rate
than patch plantations.
Plantations have not undergone any intercultural operations such as weeding, pruning and fertilizer application.
Pruning is essential in the initial two years to produce secondary and tertiary branches. This leads to the production
of a greater number of flowering bunches. Since this important operation has not undertaken, number of branches
per plant is very low and would produce much less than the ideal yield capacity.

6.7 Assessment of Jatropha(Using data of Jatropha Plantation in t he Korba Forest Division of Korba District supplied by Forest Department)
In order to arrive at a realistic estimate of Jatropha
availability, statistics available with DFO, Korba along withthe data on proportions of planting in patch and road side
was collected. An informal discussion with the Beat Officer of
Ajgarbahar led to an estimate of the planting being
undertaken by the Forest Department (information shown in
the adjoining box) in the area.
According to the Office of the DFO, Korba 217,000 plants
were distributed in the year 2005-06, 1,400,015 plants in the
year 2006-07 and 4,422,300 plants in the year 2007-08 in the
Korba Forest Division. There was no planting in the year
2008-09 in Korba Forest Division. Range wise data on the
plantation was also collected and was used to assess future
availability of Jatropha.
Assumptions for assessing availability of Jatropha
Data provided by DFO, Korba has been used to assess
the quantity of Jatropha
Discussions with Forest Department reveal that in the
year 2005-06, planting was done in patches, while in2006-07 around 80% was patch planting and 20% was
roadside planting. In the year 2007-08 the entire
planting was by the road side.
The calculations are based on the physical enumeration
and existing management of plantation
The Road side plantation survival rate is 49.66 %
The Patch plantation survival rate is 83.14 %
Assuming a 2m x 2m spacing, the number of plants is 2500 per hectare
After 3 years of growth 109 gms yield per tree is calculated for patch plantation.
After 5 years of growth 450 gms yield per tree is calculated for patch plantation. After 3 years of growth 115 gms yield per tree is calculated for road side plantation.
After 5 years of growth 540 gms yield per tree is calculated for road side plantation.

From the village level discussions, it was clear that cattle graze outside from 8.00 AM to 4.00 PM (8 hrs), thus spending
1/3rd of their time outside the shed. The dung produced during this time period cannot be collected and transported due
to the human effort involved. Hence only 66.66% of the total dung production is collected by the villagers. Hence,
though estimated annual dung production in all clusters from all animals is estimated at 23,917 ton, annual dung
collected in all clusters is estimated to be 15,943 ton.
Usage
Villagers dump the dung in a pit or make heap of it to dry before it is applied as a fertilizer. Approximately 8-10 tractor
trolley loads (each load of 4 tons) are applied on 1 hectare of farm land. This is the only compost which the majority of
villagers apply in their farmland. There has been no incidence of dung being sold by villagers.

Market Gateway for the study vi llages
The majority of the TBOs of 24 study villages and of the 50 villages existing in 20 kms radius of these clusters are sold in
the nearby periodic haats and traded by traders located at Korba and Chhuri. These are the first market contact points
for the village communities of these 6 clusters. Katghora is also a major market which is the convergence point oftransactions taking place in the Chhuri market.
The produce is then traded to various markets, most prominently Katghora, Pendra Road, Bilaspur and Raipur. These
markets have a trading relationship with various other markets, most notably with Bhaisama, Jashpur, and
Dharamjaygarh. It was estimated that both Jashpur and Dharamjaygarh markets deal with approximately 375 ton of
Mahua oilseed each.
The following illustration depicts the nature of linkage existing in the abovementioned markets.

Discussions with 2-3 traders in each market were conducted to understand individual quantum traded, followed by a
discussion with the major trader to understand the total market size in terms of the cumulative transactions made by all
traders. The adjoining figure depicts the quantum of TBO (Mahua, Karanj, Kusum and Jatropha) transacted in each of
the markets.
In terms of the gross amount traded, Mahua seeds emerged as the top oilseed followed by Karanj and Kusum in these
markets. While Katghora emerged as the largest market hub for Mahua trading with around 1575 tons of trading,
Pendra Road was a close second with approximately 1350 tons traded. Korba market transacted around 1125 tons and
Chhuri transacted approximately 675 tons.
Karanj is not available in the study clusters, but Katghora market trades around 60 tons followed by Chhuri and Korba
where 45 and 30 tons are traded.
Approximately 30 tons of Kusum is traded in the market of Korba and 45 tons is traded in the Chhuri market. Katghoratrades around 23 tons of Kusum.
Jatropha is traded only in the Pendra market where approximately 900 tons is traded.
Observations: Jatropha Traders Dynamics in Pendra Road area
Presently Jatropha seeds are used mostly for seedling and research purposes by various Government and Non
Government Organizations, leading to higher cost of the seeds. It is observed by the traders that the real cost of

Jatropha oilseed will emerge in 3-4 years of time when the mature oilseed production will hit the markets. But, with
ever increasing demand and inadequate supply, the gestation period may increase to around 5 years.
Last year the trading of Jatropha seeds started from Rs.17000 Rs.18000 per ton, but within one month the price
shot to Rs.35000 per ton. The seed cost had gone up to a maximum of Rs.55000 per ton last year. These high costs
reduced in part due to heavy rains during flowering stage production of Jatropha. As a result, yield dropped
drastically (about 25 truck loads were traded), but in a good yield situation the turnover may increase up to 75 truck
load (last to last year)
During the discussions, traders showed interest in along term feedstock supply agreement with the project at
market prices (negotiable). However, it will be extremely important to pick up right trader who can ensure both
quantity and quality.
This year approximately 3 truckloads (each truck load s 15 tons) of Jatropha were sent to a Gurgaon based firm by a
Pendra Road trader @ Rs. 22000 per ton (price inclusive of delivery at Gurgaon). Further, Global Herbs procured 3
truck loads of seed from Pendra Road market. Reliance procured Jatropha seeds from Pendra Road market and
Devas for plantation purpose
Local traders undertake trading activity during the month of January to April when they procure from farmers/small
village based traders and sell to different parties across India
Traders generally manage transport of Jatropha in the down trip with the trucks carrying consumable items from
Raipur to Pendra Road.
Jatropha from local haats villages within 100 km radius are traded through the Pendra Road market. Jatropha from
several villages of Madhya Pradesh also come to this market.
Small NGOs who require lower quantities of seed (mainly for sapling purpose) are ready to pay a premium for good
quality Jatropha seeds.
Last years production is still in stock in the Pendra Road market and if it does not get sold by the time new stocks
arrive, it would be mixed with the fresh produce due to come to market in this year.
As the traders of Pendra Road said, presently there is no defined market for linkage of Jatropha seeds. Demand is
throughout the year from different markets as required.
A total of 10 truck load of Jatropha seed was available in Pendra Road market with all the big traders during the
time of the study
Traders quoted a price of Rs. 15000-17000 per ton (delivery at destination) for an instant order.

9. Procurement Dynamics
GTZ plans to set up six expelling units to extract oil and oilcakes for the renewable energy based electricity generationplant. It was estimated that the community in the project villages would be able to collect 800 ton. It is evident from our
assessment that the present availability of TBO is only 100 ton. The potential production of Jatropha is presently
assessed as non-existent. Therefore there is a need to procure about 700 ton of TBOs from other sources.
The major trade centres in the area aggregate significant stocks of TBOs which can be procured. The project can target
the trade intermediaries as part of the project to assure regular procurement. Presently there are no institutional buyers
and therefore the trade intermediaries have no alternate market to sell the TBO stocks.
It was also observed that there is only two months of availability of TBOs in the village markets and only a few big
traders stock up for future trading. This can be a hindrance to local procurement for the project. It may be important to
sign up agreements with some of the major traders for unhindered procurement of oilseeds. The research team
determined that the local traders are not familiar with the concept of contracted supplies and are more acquainted with
spot trading mechanisms. Therefore the project may find it difficult to get suppliers at fixed rates or government
regulated rates.
This section brings out the availability of TBOs in different markets and their purchase price. The total procurement
cost per ton including the transportation cost from these markets to cluster has been reflected to depict the complete
scenario.

Possible Procurement Mechanism
A multi-source procurement mechanism will be important to ensure procurement of the desired quantity of TBOs. Any
procurement mechanism must take care of 3 aspects, namely, quantity available at the source, purchase price and
transportation cost to decide on the procurement mix.
The Project may procure TBOs from different sources viz. study villages, oilseed traders and Forest Corporation (for
Saal seed). It is understood that the major actors at community level facilitating procurement would be individual
collectors, SHG, VEC and NGO. The following diagram illustrates various sourcing points along with the mechanism of
procurement.
There are three different procurement scenarios emerging from the study, which may partially fulfill the demand.
Firstly procurement directly from the primary collectors located in the study villages. Secondly from the SHG that can
work as aggregators helping the project to secure the produce in bulk. This would help in reducing the lifting points but
would require additional handling costs at SHG level. It is also important to note that SHG as a player in the
procurement will only be sustainable if it has an economic basis. Hence, a commission based business model may be
adopted. Thirdly, since the nearby markets have bulk availability of TBOs, they are an important source of
procurement. In all the cases VEC need to play a role of planning and managing procurement along with other defined
roles and responsibilities.
Apart from these scenarios, petty traders, who are the most important link between trader and the community, may beengaged in the procurement process. They may be used to source TBOs in the villages and markets and procure it on
behalf of VEC on a business proposition basis. A Marketing Associate can be attached to each expelling unit (conceived
by the project) where both petty traders and youth can be involved (refer annex-2 for details).

10.Marketing Potential of Organic Manure
Major Crops and Fertilizer usage at the village level
Paddy is the main crop cultivated by most of the families. Kharif paddy is cultivated under rainfed condition from the
Southwest Monsoon from June to November. The only compost used is cow-dung. Discussions reveal that farmers
generally apply cow-dung after a gap of 3 years. Some farmers holding Kisan Credit Card (KCC) have started applying
chemical fertilizers like Urea, Potash, and DAP on their land but there is hardly any use ofbio-fertilizer by the farmers.
Bio Manure Dynamics
There are institutions, line departments and agencies that require fertilizers in bulk. Highlights of interactions with
some of the major players are as follows:
Agriculture Department
The Department promoted Vermi-compost and NADEP compost through capacity building programmes at community
level. These products are produced and used within the community. For demonstrations of organic farming,
department supplies bio-fertilizers particularly bacterial culture e.g. Rhizobium and Azotobactor to farmers. For supply
of bio-fertilizer, the office of the Block Development Officer (BDO) gives a requisition to District Agriculture Office and
the District Agriculture Officer procures the material from fertilizer dealers and supplies it to the Block office.
Last year procurement of bio fertilizer in Korba block was approximately 5,000 packs (each pack is of 200 gms) i.e. oneton of bacteria culture and 50 litres of liquid fertilizer. It is estimated that across the 5 blocks of Korba district about 5
ton of bacteria culture and 250 litres of liquid fertilizer are used
Fertilizer dealers in Korba and Bilaspur
There are five major fertilizer dealers are located in the Korba district town and also fertilizer retailers present in each
block. They have not seen increased demand for bio-manure from among the local farming community. The major
demand for vermicompost is from the towns and not from rural areas. There is a low incidence of application of bio
manure in Korba district.
Bone meal and neem cake are sold and purchased largely by nurseries located in cities and people who have interest in
floriculture. Distributors are reluctant to stock bio manure and only large fertilizer companies are able to force sell it to
the supply chain.
One of the trade practices prevalent in fertilizer marketing is the offering of credit. Therefore, the business necessarily
requires a huge investment. The credit period extended by companies to distributors is up to 60 days.
A distributor located at Bilaspur has dealt with bio-fertilizers marketed by Excel. Around nine truck loads
(approximately 100 tons) were sold by him over a span of two years. He attributed Excels grass root presence at the
farm level and aggressive marketing strategy as key driver for such sales. However, he has been unable to sell even one

Truck load (approximately 11 tons) of bio-fertilizer marketed by Coromandel in the past one year. One fertilizer retailer
in Korba town sold the maximum bio manure of about 8 tons.
Oil Expeller unit (Neem)
The owner of the oil expeller unit based in Bilaspur revealed that neem cake is mostly sold to government departments,
big nurseries and NGOs promoting sustainable agriculture. It is sold on credit and it is difficult to get timely payment
from govt. departments. The price of neem cake varies from Rs. 6000 to Rs. 8000 per ton.
NABARD-WADI program implemented by JJS
JJS is implementing NABARDs WADI program and is to cover 500 acres (1 farmer-1acre) by 2010-11. Approximately 55
plants per acre are to be planted and 2.2 kg fertilizer per plant is to be applied. Hence, the NGO will have to purchase 55
tons of fertilizer indicating a large captive demand. JJS purchased neem cake @ Rs. 7.5 per kg from a Bilaspur based
expeller under the program.
11.Need for Electricity
Of the 24 study villages electric grid is still to reach 3 villages. As per the community interaction only seven villages of
the 24 study villages have used electricity. Electricity connection was subscribed by few domestic households in the
villages but there were defaults in payments, leading to disconnections. Electricity consumption was metered but even
then payments were not made. Currently the electrified villages are not supplied with electricity.
PRA and FGD discussions with villagers revealed that they do wish to get electricity for household consumption, mainly
for lighting purpose. In many discussions electricity was sought to ensure a bright future for their children, allowing
them to study after dark. In addition, villagers expressed need for electricity for commercial use e.g. running irrigation
pumps, starting agri processing units and other enterprises (Light Systems, Decoration Systems, Shops and Audio-
Video Shops). They also had an inclination to pay for the electricity consumed at each household level on the condition
that they receive a regular supply with no voltage fluctuation as faced with grid supply.
